      This will most probably will be ‘limited’ gun control. Limited as in ‘everyone left oft the GOP is a domestic terrorist’.

    Now I really wonder how maga will react… This is one of their core beliefs and either cheeto goes full “rules for thee but not for mer” for the white christians, or he might literally find himself without a base at all

      Maga core beliefs go out the window the minute trump says something different. Remember how they were against miltary intervention in foreign countries, especially in the middle east? Well now they’re gung-ho for it. They’re singing that Barbara Ann/bomnb Iran song on the conservative forums right now. There’s a little grumbling from a few of them about trump and minions saying you can’t take your guns to protests, but most are already rationalizing it (because it’s the ‘libtards’ getting shot for it). Pretty soon they’ll all be cheering on the Big Beautiful Gun Roundup.

    So let’s see, no Epstein Files, America First is out the window, prices keep rising, and now we’re going to restrict the 2nd Amendment.

    What exactly is MAGA in for now? The voracious Corruption? The virtuosic incompetence? The Pedophilia? Death Squads spontaneously forming firing squads and executing American citizens in the streets?

    Does this look like the kind of freedom you were voting for?

    Settle down people. This isn’t what you think it is.

    They’re using this as an explanation of why Pretti was executed.

    They’re not suggesting that MAGA dickheads cant carry guns.

    While irreconcilable to any thinking person. These two statements can happily co-exist in the minds of idiots.

    This whole thing is “rules for thee but not for me”.

      Yeah, and they’re saying they should be restricted, moreso than they are. That’s not the traditional conservative position.

      They’re not suggesting liberals can’t carry guns either. They’re saying neither should carry a gun to a protest.

      It’s a bizarre position.

    They are clearly trying to ensure that they will never be subject to a legitimate election again. Minnesota is a test for how many constitutional amendments they can break. Presidential term limits are absolutely the target. When the oligarchs no longer need their cult they will repeal the entire Constitution. Welcome to the New Confederacy.

      Trump is nearing his life’s term limit. A 3rd term from him personally is not particularly concerning. That’s still a red line in the sand that we should never allow anyone to cross but I’ll be surprised if he makes it through his current term in good enough condition to even pretend to be in charge.

        Trump is just a symptom. The christofascists in his ear are the sickness. Trump is there just to bulldoze through the Constitution and establish a one party system.

        Maybe not, but what I see is more ideologically in line with the Confederates than with the Nazis. That was the secret sauce the whole time. They want the entire US government to be reset to the antebellum era and to pick up as though Lincoln never existed.

        It’s about the feeling of safety. I mean could you imagine how terrifying it must feel just walking around a school, dragging a kicking and screaming 10 year old out and think to yourself… what if one of these kids has a gun and starts shooting! We all see it on the news every day… but it’s so much easier to watch when it’s just little kids trying to get about their day getting shot. It hits so much harder when it’s 30 year old trained gunmen that might have to face being in the line of fire.

        Or walking down the street just minding your business spraying pepper spray in peoples faces, and think to yourself, what if someone in this crowd has a gun. I’m only wearing 3 layers of body armor, and I’ve only got 15 friends around also armed with large assault rifles, gas masks, and tear gas to protect myself, maybe one person in this crowd, might have a weapon somewhere, and might even think about using it.

        Or imagine the fear they feel every time they burst down someones door, with only 10 other soldiers, and a mere inches of riot shield in front of them to protect them from these people that have a small chance of owning a firearm somewhere in the house, these brave souls need protection!

        I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in that kind of fear.

      I think this is more intended to remove the citizen population’s ability to retaliate against a tyrannical government. You know the thing the second amendment was intended for, according to some folks.

      A lot of good regulation only happened after the privileged started complaining/suffering. It is what it is. I would take it, but I don’t think it will happen with this “administration”.

        I bet Ed cameras in the you build in Texas Why that so-called law-enforcement was standing around while all those kids were getting murdered I’m sure they have video of it, but I also remember them editing out the audio of the video because of the screaming in the background why the agents were Standing around on their cells

          If you don’t understand the different reaction between something reported to have happened and something documented with multiple videos you don’t understand humans much.

            I’ve always said all legislators should be required to walk through the aftermath of an event like sandy Hook or Uvalde before they are allowed to vote on gun legislation. And while I understand why parents would never want video of that made available to the public, I also think it would make a huge difference in public opinion if it was–that’s why I say at least the lawmakers should have to see it (and sight isn’t the only sense of it they’d never forget).

    California’s strict gun control started with Reagan because he wanted to disarm the Black Panthers. Republicans are pro 2A, as long as it is reserved for white conservative/fascist people.

    EDIT: Governor Reagan. So, before he became president, but 100 fold once he got shot.

    He just wants ICE, Fascists, 2A-toters and white rednecks to be armed.

    He doesn’t want blacks, LGBTQ and enemies of the government to be armed.
